Optimization – In Memory
• Data can be written to an ―in_memory‖
workspace.
– Only appropriate when overhead of writing to disk is
significant portion of the total time it takes to run the
model
– If output is ―in_memory‖ the client must draw the
result, therefore you must publish a toolbox
• Use the ―in_memory‖ keyword to indicate that a
dataset will be stored in memory.
